Intel investors, another large corporate purchase, although not as big as the other two, but all Intel again. Eli Lilly this time. That makes it 3 for 3. Ted Williams would take that.

Hi Tony, re: IDC report

Notice the "sweet spot" of the Server market? The one Intel's gearing up for:

The [Linux] OS is more popular in low-end file and print servers [i.e. where there's no money]. [While] The versions of Unix [not Linux] combined may make up less than a sixth of the market, but they bring in more than half the revenue, earning 53 percent of the $5.7 billion in server operating system sales in 1999

Win NT has $1.7B out of $5.7B. Itanium gives Win2000 the opportunity to partake in the "53% of the $5.7B" marketplace.

==> That's a $3.0B new Server OS opportunity for Microsoft.

Cheers,
Amy J

Hi Tony, thanks for the awesome IDC report on Server OS.

So, does Win NT make 35 times more money than Linux for the same pro-rated unit market share:

Linux...$32MM (25% unitshare) (0.5% revenueshare)
NT......$1.7B (38% unitshare) (30% revenueshare)

Win NT 31% growth (revenue)
Win NT 24% growth (units)

35 = $1.7B / [ 38%NT/25%Linux * $32MM ] = $1.7B/$48.64MM = 35 X's

Amy J PS This is my second attempt at posting this. First time it didn't post. Not sure why?
